Au Bonheur Des Petits Mains

So I found some images I saved from the Au Bonheur Des Petits Mains website in my inspiration folder ages ago. I purchased a few of these patterns, but sadly the company went bust before I could buy more.

No idea who owns the copyright to these now - but I trust whoever it is won't mind if some home sewers gaze upon them in nostalgic admiration for the quirky heyday of ABDPM.
